Switzerland’s multimedia network operators face a complex landscape, balancing geographically dispersed users with the need for a reliable and stable communications infrastructure. To meet these challenges, eleven network providers in French-speaking Switzerland have united under netplus.ch SA, delivering over 460,000 network services daily.
Given Switzerland’s position at the heart of Europe, a significant amount of cross-border data exchange is required. More than 20% of this data flows through DE-CIX Frankfurt, ensuring seamless communication with providers not present in Switzerland. To maintain secure and low-latency data routing, netplus.ch SA has partnered with IP-Max to leverage DE-CIX’s direct peering solution GlobePEER for improved performance and reliability.
The role of partners in seamless connectivity
As a trusted Internet Service Provider, IP-Max has been instrumental in netplus.ch SA’s success. When peering at Frankfurt became a necessity over ten years ago, IP-Max’s reputation for reliability and expertise made it the ideal partner. Several netplus.ch SA shareholders were already using IP-Max’s services, reinforcing their decision to move forward with a strategic collaboration.
Through IP-Max’s dedicated connection to DE-CIX Frankfurt, netplus.ch SA started to utilize 10 Gbps GlobePEER service, providing direct access to over 1,000 regional, national, and international networks. This eliminated the need for individual peering agreements and streamlines network operations.
